An official impact rating isn’t stated, like the common MIL-STD-810G, but you’ll believe it when you get your hands on the unit. The Ready Elite carries over the same durable qualities that Braven has boasted, such as IP68 water/dust-proofing and a tough, shockproof housing. This isn’t just true in looks but in features too. It’s closest in relation to the Ready Prime speaker, and can almost be summed up as a larger version of it. It’s rectangular with a thick thermoplastic chassis and a domineering front grill. If you’ve seen one of Braven’s other “Outdoor” series Bluetooth speakers, you’ll be in familiar territory with the new Ready Elite. But it’s not too overbearing to carry from place to place (nor is heavy at about 3 lbs).

(And unless you don't care too much about the audio quality, both the Pi Zero and the TPLink router will need a better external DAC anyway.) All of a sudden that "fifty quid project!" has become a £150+ one in five seperate deliveries. But worst for me, is that they still limit you to buying one at a time, so if your decide "Hell yeah! 5 room wi-fi streamed audio sounds _Awesome!_" You're not only up for fifty quid for the Pi Zeros, but you're gonna spend at something like twice that much again for 5 half-decent power supplies, USB cables for the power supplies, SD cards, and cases, and then you're up for 5 lots of shipping charges because they aren't allowed to sell you 5 Pi Zeros in one order. That TPLink wifi router comes in a case with a (probably shitty but working) power supply and cable, and inbuilt flash memory.Ī Pi Zero costs ten quid, but you need to add a case, a power supply, and a micro SD Card. I'm a big fan of RasPis, but people _always_ understate the real costs.

There are two conventions for naming positive powers of ten, beginning with 10 9, called the long and short scales. See order of magnitude and orders of magnitude (numbers) for named powers of ten.

In decimal notation the nth power of ten is written as '1' followed by n zeroes. ![]() Adaptive fine-tuning as part of the standard transfer learning setting. Importantly, the model is fine-tuned with the pre-training objective, so adaptive fine-tuning only requires unlabelled data. Specifically, adaptive fine-tuning involves fine-tuning the model on additional data prior to task-specific fine-tuning, which can be seen below. Adaptive fine-tuning is a way to bridge such a shift in distribution by fine-tuning the model on data that is closer to the distribution of the target data. Adaptive fine-tuningĮven though pre-trained language models are more robust in terms of out-of-distribution generalisation than previous models ( Hendrycks et al., 2020), they are still poorly equipped to deal with data that is substantially different from the one they have been pre-trained on. Overview of fine-tuning methods discussed in this post. In particular, I will highlight the most recent advances that have shaped or are likely to change the way we fine-tune language models, which can be seen below. Consequently, fine-tuning is the main focus of this post. Fine-tuning is more important for the practical usage of such models as individual pre-trained models are downloaded-and fine-tuned-millions of times (see the Hugging Face models repository). While pre-training is compute-intensive, fine-tuning can be done comparatively inexpensively. The standard pre-training-fine-tuning setting (adapted from (Ruder et al., 2019)) The pre-trained model is then fine-tuned on labelled data of a downstream task using a standard cross-entropy loss. ![]() ![]() In the standard transfer learning setup (see below see this post for a general overview), a model is first pre-trained on large amounts of unlabelled data using a language modelling loss such as masked language modelling (MLM Devlin et al., 2019). The limitations of this zero-shot setting (see this section), however, make it likely that in order to achieve the best performance or stay reasonably efficient, fine-tuning will continue to be the modus operandi when using large pre-trained LMs in practice. Recent models are so large in fact that they can achieve reasonable performance without any parameter updates ( Brown et al., 2020). The empirical success of these methods has led to the development of ever larger models ( Devlin et al., 2019 Raffel et al., 2020). Over the last three years ( Ruder, 2018), fine-tuning ( Howard & Ruder, 2018) has superseded the use of feature extraction of pre-trained embeddings ( Peters et al., 2018) while pre-trained language models are favoured over models trained on translation ( McCann et al., 2018), natural language inference ( Conneau et al., 2017), and other tasks due to their increased sample efficiency and performance ( Zhang and Bowman, 2018).

Beyond analyzing Crumb’s unmistakable sexual fetishes, his drawings do pose a challenge to the canon of “hot” or “sexy” women in contemporary culture: His women aren’t super-skinny waifs but rather powerful, imposing figures. It’s important to remember when considering how Crumb represents these women that he is a cartoonist, and his comics are looking to amuse as much as arouse. They do not conform to a prescribed body type, but rather via his pencil, these women are transformed into Crumb’s ideal. He intentionally sexualizes his muses-from his wife Aline, to famous athletes like Serena Williams and Tonja Buford-Bailey. Looking at the works of “Art & Beauty,” there’s no doubt that, for Crumb, drawing women is still a turn-on. They are still very beautiful, voluptuous women, but the cast has grown immensely through technology.” These works are complicated by the fact that Crumb is now drawing from women’s own portrayals of themselves. ![]() “There are certainly images like that of Coco (a reality TV star) that come from the media, but now he is working from images shot on the street. “The biggest difference for me is that Robert is now working from pictures sent to him from cell phones,” says art dealer Paul Morris, who first met Crumb in 1999. The women Crumb has chosen as subjects for Art & Beauty Magazine over the years-including famous sports stars, his wife, and TV stars-largely haven’t changed, but an interesting addition to his references in the new volume include selfies sent to him by women. In this context, Crumb’s obsessive drawings of women hardly seem perverse. Every image we encounter of a woman’s body, it seems, has a currency in the current cultural condition. The consumer-based economy we live in, which depends so heavily on the pressure to conform to beauty standards (no matter what they are), has hardly improved since 1990-the year author Naomi Wolf pointed out this correlation in her seminal work The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women. ![]() ![]() This month alone, debates have raged over portrayals of female celebrities in the media-from Amy Schumer’s rebuttal to Glamour’s “plus size” issue to Kerry Washington’s distaste for her airbrushed AdWeek cover and Jennifer Lawrence’s Harper’s interview in which she called out the film industry for its view on body types. In the two decades that have passed since Crumb started Art & Beauty, the canons of female beauty have diversified, but now perhaps more than ever, our society is obsessed with policing, controlling, defining, and subduing women’s bodies. In addition to the exhibition and the release of the new Art & Beauty Magazine, Number 3 (2016), David Zwirner Books is also publishing all three volumes as a single book, Art & Beauty Magazine: Drawings by R. The show, “Art & Beauty,” presents selected drawings from the three volumes of Art & Beauty Magazine, which was inspired by his personal collection of a 1920s top-shelf magazine of the same name. Crumb’s portrayals of women in 2016 are still deeply divisive, but they also interact in an intriguing new way with the current discourse on beauty.Īt David Zwirner in Mayfair, London, Crumb’s catalogue of drawings of women from 1990 to 2016, from his “Art & Beauty” magazine series, are presented together in an exhibition, including the project’s third volume, which is now being shown to the public for the first time. Crumb), continues to draw them prolifically and passionately, and with the same provocative appeal as at the start of his career as a cartoonist in the 1960s. At the age of 72, the artist (who goes by the pen name R. Even if you’re only drinking lightly, if you’re drunk enough your judgement may be impaired. This is why it’s important to be careful when drinking. This is because alcohol affects the brain in a way that makes us act impulsively and without restraint. But the truth is, research has shown that when people are under the influence of alcohol, their behaviour is much more out of character. People often think that because someone is drunk, they can’t be held responsible for their actions. However, we might not be accurate in our thinking, and our actions might be dangerous. On one hand, we are more open and honest, which can be good. Overall, the proverb suggests that there are pros and cons to being drunk. This can be dangerous, because when we are drunk we are not always aware of the consequences of our actions. ![]() We might say something that we would never say when we are sober, because we are not thinking critically. However, sometimes when we are drunk we are not accurate in our thinking. This can be good, because when we are drunk we are not as judgmental, and we are more likely to forgive others. ![]() The idea is that when we are drunk, we are more open and honest with ourselves, and our true personalities come out. When people are drunk, they are not as intelligent as they are when they are sober.Īlthough the saying is often attributed to Jean-Jaques Rousseau, it is actually a proverb that has been around for centuries. When people are drunk, they are more likely to make mistakes. When people are drunk, they are not as careful about what they say.

Drinking can make people feel more comfortable talking about their emotions, and they may say things that they would not say sober. This is because they are not thinking clearly, and their true feelings come out. When someone is drunk, they may say things that they would not normally say. This is why people often say embarrassing things when they are drunk, because they are not thinking about the consequences of their words. This means that drunken thoughts are usually sober thoughts, and the person saying them is usually thinking about something else other than what they are saying. This is because when you drink, your brain starts to function in a way that is similar to how it functions when you are intoxicated. When someone drinks, they often loosen up their inhibitions and start saying things that they would usually keep hidden. This is because when people are drunk, they are not thinking clearly. For example, a person might say something that is embarrassing or that they would not want anyone to know. Many people who are drunk say things that they would not say when they are sober. This might be true for some people, but it is not always the case. ![]() 15 Does Being Drunk Change Your Personalityĭrunk words are sober thoughts?

Following the break with China, programming still remained Marxist-Leninist in nature. ![]() As such, Radio Tirana kept close to the official policy of the People's Republic of China, which was also both anti-West and anti-Soviet whilst still being socialist in tone. Its programmes had a reputation for being little more than dull propaganda.ĭuring Albania's alliance with China in the 1960s and 1970s, Radio Tirana had to walk a fine line between being anti- West whilst also being anti- Soviet. ![]() In 2012, several digital only channels were launched under the RTSH logo.ĭespite the country's small size and isolationist policies, Radio Tirana was a fairly major international broadcaster during the Cold War. The second channel, TVSH 2, began experimental broadcasts in 2003. In 2002 TVSH ranked second with an audience share of 17.1%. Color broadcasts started in 1981, and became regular by 1982. Television programs were regularly launched by 1971. Children movies and then adults’ programmes were broadcast, three times a week for about one hour. The first test programme was held on 29 April 1960, at 6:00 pm and was introduced by the journalist Stoli Beli. In 1959, Radio Tirana's director by that time, Petro Kita, founded the first Experimental Television Centre to provide the basis for the latter Albanian television, TVSH. Ever since 2003, it simultaneously determines the country's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. It organises the music competition Festivali i Këngës, which has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1962. The broadcaster is an active member of the European Broadcasting Union. Medium wave (AM) and short wave (SW) broadcasts were switched off in 2017. The international radio service broadcasts radio programmes in Albanian and seven other languages via Internet Radio, Radio on the Satellite and on OTT with an App for both iOS and Android. In addition, four regional radio and TV stations serve local areas in Gjirokastër, Korçë, Shkoder, and Kukës. RTSH also has dedicated channels, for news ( RTSH-24), sports, music, children, etc. RTSH 3 is dedicated to Albanians living abroad. RTSH 2 is dedicated niche communities, including cultural and ethnic minorities, broadcasting news editions in Greek, Montenegrin and Aromanian. ![]() RTSH 1 is the flagship generalist channel. RTSH also runs a Satellite Multiplexer with 7 channels. There are 12 TV channels in the first multiplexer and 11 radio channels. RTSH is funded by a combination of commercial advertising, an annual licence fee of US$10.00 and grant-in-aid from the Albanian government. The international television service via satellite RTSH Sat (former TVSH Sat) was launched in 1993 and is aimed at Albanian-speaking communities in Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and northern Greece, plus the Albanian diaspora in the rest of Europe. Founded in 1938, it operates several radio and television channels, over a domestic transmitter network as well as satellite.

This gives air frying a much better health rating than deep frying. Many people who air fry their food say that they are much healthier than using a deep fryer, as you can generally use minimal oil with an air fryer or no oil at all, if you so choose. ![]() ![]() This makes the cook time with an air fryer shorter. Deep fryers can take up to ten minutes to heat up, while air fryers are often ready to use almost straight away once you turn them on. One of the best things about air fryers is how quickly they heat up. Deep FryingĬompared to deep fryers, air fryers have a number of benefits or advantages. Air fryers also cook your food very evenly because of the way they are designed and how the fan is located within the machine. Essentially, an air fryer bakes your food instead of frying it. The fan moves air around in the air fryer and browns the food, so that it seems to be fried, but the air fryer does this without using any oil, or very little. It works by using a fan to heat up your food in a way that is supposed to mimic deep frying. In short, an air fryer is like a mini convention oven. Air fryers also cook faster, making your cook time much shorter. This gives air frying a great health rating and safety rating. Compared to conventional fryers, air fryers have been found to be much healthier and safer, but this doesn’t mean the food you make with an air fryer is lacking in flavor! When you use an air fryer, you can fry food without many of the risks associated with frying food in general. ![]() People around the world are becoming increasingly aware of health and how to protect their health, but they want to be able to make the foods that they love as well.

How do I make my Valheim roof more stable? When you move the cursor to the building part, it shows a color range from blue, to green, to red. You may reinforce the building with walls, beams, and poles. If there is not enough support, the building parts will fall down. Why does my house keep falling apart in Valheim? But if left exposed they will continue to take damage from the weather. Just repair them and they’ll look new again. Why does wood turn green in Valheim? Building pieces meant to be protected from the weather (wooden floor pieces, for example) will turn green very quickly if exposed to the rain. Once the roof is built, your items will be 100% safe and secure. The best and easiest thing to protect the item from being damaged by rain is to build a roof above them. In order to protect wooden items in Valheim, you will have to place them under a roof or anywhere where rain can’t reach. Therefore, all you have to do in order for them to be safe without rain reaching them, is to build roofs above them. Whenever is raining in Valheim, any wooden items you have left outside a protected environment, will receive damage overtime, eventually making them unusable. Both rely on each other: Without a proper foundation in place, roof supports will fall down and break. Floor tiles coupled with wood beams form a solid foundation, while walls and upright beams help support the roof.
